Nandor's Famous Fiber Bomb Muffins
If you've ever been lucky enough to get one of these at his bootcamp, you know they're delicious. Now you can make them yourself. This recipe grew out of my making muffins by throwing stuff in a bowl, mixing it and baking it. Sometimes they came out like tasteless hockey pucks.
Nowadays, Nandor and his mom have refined and perfected it!
FIBER BOMB RECIPE
1 very ripe banana
3 beaten eggs
2 grated apples w/skin, or pears
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2-3 handfuls organic frozen blueberries or dried fruit: apricots, blueberries, cherries, etc. - make sure you read the ingredients and choose fruit with no added sugar or oils
2 handfuls of walnuts
2 cups oat bran (Trader Joe’s)
1 handful whole ground flaxseed meal (Bob’s Red Mill)
1 handful whole grain steel cut oats (Bob’s Red Mill)
1 tsp baking soda (optional)
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp raw honey (locally grown in CA), or 1 tsp ginger, nutmeg, or cinnamon
12oz kefir (plain), Greek style or goat’s milk yogurt (hold back on this until you have everything else in the bowl)
Most of these ingredients are optional so that you can customize it however you want it and with whatever you have in the house, i.e., pumpkin, raisins, coconut.
Mix ingredients together in the order listed. You don’t want the recipe too wet; it should all hold together and be moist, not runny, as shown in the top picture.
Bake at 350 degrees for approximately 30-45 minutes until top is nice and crusty (time varies depending on oven).
*Try using 100% unbleached/non-toxic baking cups, and yes, always use fresh, organic ingredients
